This no-guilt\, drop-in group meets every other month\, usually the last Saturday at 8\:00pm.
Our book choices tend to be a little edgier than the traditional book club fare\, and our discussions are focused yet fun. After about an hour talking about the book\, most of us head to a bar or restaurant to socialize. This helps us spend our book club time talking openly and in-depth about the book\, then gives us a great opportunity to bond with fellow readers afterwards.
Everyone is welcome to take part in the discussion\, and all are encouraged to join us for social time after\, too. Remember\, they're Saturday nights starting at 8\:00.
Be sure to join our Book Mixer mailing list if you would like us to mail you an encouraging\, thought-provoking email while we're reading-- plus a reminder to come to the discussion. To sign up for our email list\, you can use the "\;Join our Email Mailing List"\; form on home page of this site\, or you can call\, email us atqueenannebooks@queenannebooks.com\, or come in and visit!
